SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 264,555, dated September 19, 1882. Application filed July 26,1882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, WILLIAM MoULl), of Saugerties, ill the county of Ulster and State of New York, have invented a new and useful ImprovementinAnti-RattlingThill-Gouplings, of which thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description.

Reference is to be had t the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure -l. is a side elevation of my improvement, partly in section. Fig. 2 isarbottom view of the same. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the bar and spring.

The object of this invention is to prevent the rattling of ordinary thin-couplings.

IA is an axle, and B is the bow of an ordinary axle-clip. Upon the forward arm of the bow B are formed two lugs, C, to and between which is hinged, by a bolt, D, the lhill iron E,

in the ordinary manner.

F is a bar, upon the forward end of which is formed a spring, G, which extends upward, and is curved forward to fit upon the inner side of the eye of the thill-iron E. The bar F is slotted to receive the ends of the arms of the clip-bow B, where it' is secured in placeby as a yoke to the bow B of the axle-clip; or a The bar F separate yoke can be used having holes to reeeive and fit upon the ends of the arms of the bow B to hold the said arms from spreading when the nuts H are loosened.

'- Having thus described my invention, I claim as newand desire to secure by Letters Patent- The clip-bar F, provided with two oblong: slots to receive both clip-arms, having one end bent at right angles to bear against the thilliron and the other end extended beyond the clip to receive the blow of a hammer, as shown and described.-
